Heir Hunters Freelance Local Representative Services

Heir Hunters Freelance Local Representative Services (Outside IR35)

Finders International provides probate genealogy and support services to the legal and public sectors and we pride ourselves on delivering a fast, friendly, and professional service. This is an outside IR35 engagement, meaning you will operate as an independent contractor, not as an employee of Finders International. The volume of assignments will vary and is dependent on company requirements, which may fluctuate from month to month. There will be no obligation for Finders International to offer work beyond agreed assignments and no obligation for you to accept work.
